This former royal residence was built for the Bourbon Kings of Naples and was completed in 1845 after almost 100 years of construction. The 1,200-room palace was one of the largest and most opulent built in Europe during the 18th century, and in 1997 it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known as the “Italian Versailles”, the palace also attracts visitors for its remarkable fountains, waterfalls and gardens. Stroll in the gardens to see the great waterfall with its marble statue of Actaeonid at the moment he was transformed into a stag by the goddess Diana. The park covers 120 acres, with long avenues and many buildings that can be explored on foot or by carts. In the atrium of the main building you will find a majestic staircase of 116 steps and marble statues that lead to the upper vestibule and Palatine Chapel, with its vaulted ceilings and gilded rosettes. Look at the royal apartments, decorated in a mix of Rococo and Neoclassic styles, and learn how the best painters and cabinet makers contributed to create the highest decoration of 18th-century Italy in the King’s apartment, Murat’s apartment, court theater, and more.
